I have eczema and it occasionally flares on my neck, right where a hickey would be. People always ask if it's a hickey, but I don't even have a girlfriend.

At least you have the claim to being clumsy. My skin just hates me.

I have eczema too! So I know how it feels!

I've got so many allergies and literally every time I have an allergy attack, my neck itches the absolute worst for so long and I get all of these red patches that look like a dozen hickeys. I feel the struggle :(

If they automatically assume you got laid then you are probably more desirable than you think. Now if they had been surprised and shocked and were asking instead of assuming then you may have a point, but in my opinion it sounds like you're more desirable than you think. Try to put yourself out there more maybe if being alone bothers you? Join a club, try online dating, ask a friend if they know of anyone that they could set you up with. Try to have more confidence because it doesn't sound like your as bad looking as you think. :)

**Edit: sorry, this was supposed to be in response to comment #2.**

28, I'll just ignore the last part of that comment and assume it was meant for me. Even though I already know that I'm a sexy motherfucker.

Well as long as you know it 32. ;)

If they believe that you could have a significant other, then you're already half way there-ish! Be confident and proud of who you are! You'll find someone for you! Don't dwell on it, just live and have fun and it'll happen.

He's halfway to being a couple. All OP needs now is another person....

Suuure you tripped *wink. Just call it a happy accident cause now people will think you're taken, and thus desirable.

Play it off. Not like they need to know you injured yourself.. :p

Just roll with it, they won't be able to disprove you, and you may get more ladies this way!

I doubt girls find someone covered in hickeys attractive

I beg to differ! I remember when I covered myself in fake hickeys and the ladies were swarming! Ha ha...

...I need some time alone...

I also doubt that more people are going to find Op more attractive now that they are supposedly "taken." At least those people wouldn't be anyone worth dating.

yeah but some people don't know how to back off and want someone more when they think they can't have them

don't worry OP i am sure it will happen soon.

personally, i think huge dark hickeys are kind of trashy. other people can do it, its just not for me

Yeah, next time accidentally drop some condoms on the floor. XXL of course.....

Well, technically you got screwed by a piece of furniture.

*gives you a high-five!*
